Thistledown 9/16

Race 1 – #5 RUN RUN will get the heart pumping early at a price but #4 PROPER TOUCH is much the best on paper despite wearing an obvious for sale sign. Winner $3.80 4-5-2-6

Race 2 – #3 GABIO is another short price that is hard to discount. He has scored against similar at this quirky four furlong distance over this surface. #6 JUMELAKA may be the bet; believe it or not he is stretching out; gets the outside post and shows some back class. Scratch 2-6-4-5

Race 3 – #4 PYRITE MILL seems rejuvenated by the return to his former barn. 3-2-4-5

Race 4 – This is a Buckeye baby mystery; list of unfamiliar names on the breeders lines. 7-6-1-4
